Chinese New Year

Still attempting to catch up. In February, we did some painting and pulled out our carpet. Our dining and living room are now Crisp Celery. The floors are hard wood. You can see we are still in process in this pic, as the carpet tacking is half pulled up in the background. Luckily the floors looked pretty good under the carpet, so for now we'll leave them as is.

We celebrated Chine*se New Year* for the better part of 2 weeks in February. Here is our China playgroup party.

Here is M in her Chinese school performance.

We also attended our FCC* CNY party. M loved them all!

Well, this was the end of January. I guess we've been a little busy. We spent a week in Florida with my mom and dad. During the week we took a 3 day trip to the "happiest* place on Ear*th". To say M loved it would be an understatement. She relished in every moment. Loved the rides, loved being called "Princess*" for 3 days straight by every crew member we encountered, loved the parades, loved the shows, loved the fireworks, loved the characters and ESPECIALLY loved meeting the PRINCESSES*. The only movies she had seen before our trip were "Peter* Pan", the Tinker*belle movies and Snow* White*, so she really wasn't familiar with many characters, but she loved them all regardless.
The joy of riding Aladdin's* Magic Carpets* and getting to control the up and down switch.

Meeting the mice.

The face of pure happiness upon meeting her first princess.

Meeting her favorite princess. M was just in awe.

Spending time with Mul*an. Mu*lan was so sweet. She spent about 10-15 minutes with M, talking to her and walking with her. In this photo, Mula*n is showing M her favorite bird in the pond.

M got her own camera for the trip and has become quite the little photographer. She snapped this one in front of the Temple* of Heaven* at Ep*cot.

A great time was had by all!
